Gunman kills at least 50, wounds 200 in Las Vegas concert attack

Marilou Danley's brother, Reynaldo Bustos, said he called his sister immediately after receiving the news that her boyfriend of several years, Stephen Paddock, had committed the deadliest mass shooting in US history, firing on a crowd of 22,000 concertgoers from the 32nd floor of a hotel.

In a statement read by her lawyer, Ms Danley explained that she didn't know Paddock was planning a mass shooting.

While some concertgoers hit the ground Sunday night, others pushed for the crowded exits, shoving through narrow gates and climbing over fences as 40- to 50-round bursts of fire rained down on them from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay casino hotel.

As part of the ongoing investigation, Lombardo says sheriff's warrants have been carried out at the hotel room in Mandalay Bay, in Paddock's vehicle and two residences in Mesquite and Reno, Nevada.

Agents are also expected to ask Ms Danley about the large quantity of weapons - 33 the past year - Paddock purchased and explosives and thousands of rounds of ammunition found at their Nevada homes.

Uber London licence: 'Direct anger at firm' says mayor
Transport for London (TfL) cited " public safety and security implications " among its reasons for denying Uber's license. The initial background checks were carried out by a third party but TfL deemed them inadequate following a review.

Investigators reached Marilou Danley early Monday but do not believe she was involved in the shooting at this time.

Authorities are now treating the girlfriend of the Las Vegas shooting suspect as a person of interest in the investigation into the deadliest mass shooting in US history.

Police found 10 rifles inside Paddock's hotel room.

On Tuesday, authorities spoke with Marilou, who was in the Philippines. "There's now an open and ongoing law enforcement investigation, a motive is yet to be determined and it would be premature for us to discuss policy when we don't fully know all the facts or what took place last night". "She was sent away".
